Apatheist:
Not me, Jesus:
Luke 6:31 New International Version (NIV)
"Do to others as you would have them do to you."

If you were to swear to Allah or lose your job, would you find it "offensive"?
If you were to swear to Sango, Amadioha or lose your job?
then if they really believe in their atheism they should leave na....cos I am sure of what I believe then I won't do otherwise

The first amendment is really just a suggestion, after all, and not actually a rule under which they(Americans) are governed which makes this sort of thing blatantly and entirely illegal. Really, it's just a suggestion.

As for those thinking it's no big deal - that's sort of a big deal. He's being told that he cannot take part in American public service because of his religious beliefs. That's a bit, uh, illegal. And if the word's are just a meaningless add-on? Then A) get rid of them, they're meaningless and don't need to be there, and B) do let the churches know that all these 'under gods', 'in god we trusts', and 'so help me gods' mean absolutely nothing, and that we will thus be doing away with them (which will save oodles a year in ink costs alone).

Church. State. Separate. It's really not hard - folks just love to make it hard and ignore it. He's supposed to be defending against enemies foreign and domestic, and defend the constitution. By refusing to take the oath, he is fighting such a battle - and we(everyone who supports freedom) should all be supporting him.

All these religious fanatics and christian bigots.

I am a Christian and Last time I checked, no where is it stated in the bible that we should bully those who don't share our faith.

With this your comment, no wonder boko haram is killing christians in the north and Allah is blessing them. undecided undecided
. You statement is out of point;so illogical to write the least. Does bully mean same with killing and destroying property. Learn to control ur outburst. Secondly, can you tell us how Allah is blessing them for killing? Modified: In fact,you don't need because you are in doubt of your own belief; so unstable. I am not supporting bullying smone but your statement is dirty

Fact! I don't need to give you countless of qu'ranic verse(s) that says about blessing for whomever that carries jihad in the name of Allah. angryangry
and to you Jihad means "to kill"?

where did Allah bless those that kill unjustly?

I wonder why you mention Islam in this thread, when this thread is about a fanatic christian in US.

MizMyColi: The worst set of "Christians" to encounter are the fundamentalist kind.

Why force a person to do something when you know that if roles were reversed, you'd rather die than do it.

Same goes for the Atheist boss who forbids employees from identifying with their God(s)

Whatever happened to CHOICE?!

Why won't we just give everyone grace, no matter where they're at in this journey of life.

I do agree with you. What if the guy is a Buddhist? Wouldnt he have the right to insist on swearing "so help me Buddha"?
Confused Americans.
In most schools its a crime to read the Bible in public but not books on withcraft or even pornography. They should free the man abeg.
And stop these double standards.

Even if the grace could later backfire Whatever is wrong in organisations always trying to employ only workers of like minds, values, targets and goals There is no compulsion in religion or belief and you cant force anyone to accept ur own ideologies or beliefs but you have a right to some extent to choose to work with only people of like minds for your own safety and realisation of ur objectives and goals. The last time I checked, the atheists had association. Why the fuss if one of them is not allowed to mingle with the people they dont share beliefs and philosophy The most popular slogan in America is 'God bless America', and the word 'God' is mentioned even at the end of every constitutional quotes.
America is by far the most religion tolerating country where you have people of different beliefs co-existing peacefully. But lets not forget that the success of the country was built on a particular belief. And that belief is in the supreme being-God. They dont need your service if ur mind doesnt agree with them.

I'd agree with you @TheEmboldened, if that were a backyard firm, but not a world class establishment or one with a view of becoming so.

It's called religious tolerance bro.

Btw, You think you're safer with those who share same beliefs/ideologies with you?
Really?! undecided

Oh, just so you know, "America was built on Godly values" is just plain Propaganda!

Ask her founding fathers - or wikipedia

They're mainly Deists.

You dont really understand what u are saying, no disrespect. The Buddists believe in God. They believe in their god (budha or whatever) to be their advocate before God. Almost every pagan (idol worshippers) belief in the supreme being. Even as far back as history of mankind can be traced, before Christianity and Islam, as primitive as humans were, they had the insight of a supreme being greater than their idols. So where do these atheists come from? This Op is an Atheist (check out his name) and he's put up the story in such a way that it will attract our sympathy. I've been seeing him around for quite a while.
